I just started learning this song today. The guitar is pretty simple, but when you try to add in the lyrics it gets really difficult to do both at once. Elliott, I doubt any of us will ever be as good as you were.
on second thought, I think you're just a fucking liar. you meant it just like you said it, only now you feel dumb, realizing you were indeed being a dick. and if you were joking (which you weren't) you'd have assuaged the poster's hurt feelings and his perception of your being hateful.
that part when he sings "how about if you tell me something new" always gives me goosebumps for some reason

My name is Georgia, and I can't even begin to explain how much I can relate to this song. How I wish I could have heard him sing it.

"How about you.... " = same guitar part as "from some help from Johnny Walker Red" (Miss Misery)

This song is from the album New Moon, not From a Basement on a Hill.
Regardless, this song is awesome, and so are both those albums. So check them both out!

A small yet deeply emotional song. I guess that can be said about everything Elliott. RIP Steven.
